I named him Hercules. After a week, he got really sick and eventually had to be PTS (due to auto-immune disease). I was heartbroken. I waited for awhile to get another puppy, and searched high and low. Finally, I found a breeder in SoCal who had one puppy left - alas, it was a male, exactly what I wanted ! I went to visit Marco at 4 weeks and he immediately just caught my attention. I am really lucky to have found such a great companion and best friend. He's been with me through tough times, and while he can be VERY mischevious, I love him dearly. Rest in peace to his big brother, Herky. He will forever be in my heart.Bio:His full name is: Ms. Chievous Don Juan de Marco... and he is mischievous all right! Full of energy, quite the ladies' man (or dog?). He has lots of charm and wit. Tried competing in the amateurs and he won Best of Breed, 1st place in his class, and 3rd overall. For someone who's never been in the show ring before, he did well! He's got a growl/snarl when he plays, and sometimes it scares otherdog-owners .... but he doesn't mean anything by it - he's just playing and "talking" at the same time [he can be misunderstood =( ] ... Great cuddler, esp. in the mornings! Oh, and sleeps with his blue bear. Won't sleep until it's near him.The Groups I'm In:For The Love of SchnauzersI've Been On Dogster Since:
